Dog vs Truck

He did. It involved a remote-control truck and a very large German Shepherd.

I walked into the kitchen and nearly tripped over a miniature monster truck with huge rubber wheels. It was in pursuit of a four-legged canine named Schultz. Schultz was clearly not happy about having his afternoon nap disturbed. He went to all of his favorite spots, but was chased of by the truck.

Bubba thought that was great fun. Until Schultz decided to do something about it. When that motorized vehicle approached the furry beast and bumped into his nose, Schultz took action. He jumped up, grabbed that thing in his enormous mouth, and ran off.

Fortunately, Schultz was very gentle, so the truck wasn't damaged, but that was the end of Bubba's little game!

Before I go, I would like to thank Diana Jenkins for featuring my new book, Ten Zany Birds, on her blog. It was a wonderful, unexpected surprise!

(I also want to say, that I'm sorry I've been sporadic about posting. Between vacations, the kids being home, and all the stuff I'm trying to do, it's been really rough for me to be online to blog. Hopefully things will settle down in a while, and I'll be more regular.)

Have you ever thought about going on Pinterest and seeing if there are any kid friendly projects there? Maybe something that Bubba might like. Better than some of the stupid tricks they get up to on YouTube.

We all need breaks Sherry, life gets busy... Poor Schultz... I feel for him... When my youngest gets bored she holds and carries the cat... no wonder the cat runs off to quiet areas often... I hope vacation time settles down for you xox

We had a dog when I was growing up who would do things like that. She would just take away whatever I was bothering her with, but she never damaged it. Unfortunately, she couldn't take away my walker, which I used to chase her around the house before I could walk on my own.

Summertime is crazy for blogging. We all have such crazy schedules. As to the boredom, have you seen that sign for bored kids? Someone on Facebook had it hanging on her wall in her house. It reads like a checklist:
